What does it mean to have so many hurricanes hit Florida in one year? I for one am shocked. Some people would have you believe, “YOUR GONNA DIE!” “RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!” And others just see it as a conspiracy dreamed up by Lowes and Home Depot, in partnership with your local broadcast affiliates to sell plywood.
Yet at the end of the day, if you have suffered severe damage, don’t you wonder where God is in all of this? Is this just nature taking its course, or is there a greater hand in all of this? Are we, Floridians being punished for something? Have we not let some people go, so that the floodwaters of the Atlantic would not bear down upon us?
Maybe this weather is on a 500 year cycle, and we just didn’t know it; and now we must expect this sort of weather from here on out… for a while. After all, our grasp of time is small in the large spand of the universe. Who is to say, maybe Nostradamus.
In the end, with technology, many lives have been saved. Early warnings and heeding evacuation notices has saved lives in most vulnerable areas.
As lucky as we are to have days of advanced warning for Hurricanes, California had no warning of the Seismic activity that is starting to occur; and add to that some activity at Mt. St. Helens, makes me wonder, what on EARTH is happening.
